On March 22, 2022, my journey with Splinterlands began. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve never played the game because my internet didn't allow me to enjoy this adventure. However, I love creating art, and I was fascinated by the character designs and the world of Splinterlands. I decided to give it a try and bring their characters to life with my hands and graphic tablet.

The challenge was that I wanted Rexxie to be about to bite the cake, but I didn't have a clear idea of the angle to position him. So, I experimented a lot, drawing lines and erasing them immediately to frame him correctly. Even though I managed to get his head in a good position, I couldn't get the body right in the sketch or the outline.
I kept working on Vera, correcting her flaws and especially rendering her clothing and skin more and more, trying to give them a soft look using the airbrush and the "Smudge" tool. I also focused heavily on the cake, which I painted with soft colors that contrasted with each other to make it visually striking. Since I wanted the Splinterlands logo in the middle of the cake's surface, I went to Google to find a PNG of those distinctive teeth from the game's logo to paint them, simulating that they were made of frosting.
But I want to keep celebrating Splinterlands' 6th anniversary, so tell me, which other iconic character should I paint next?
